Hi All,
As you may remember, I've been doing a lot of mods to my Polysix. After focusing on having fun playing the thing for the last month or two, I'm noticing that the Polysix seems to get quite hot on the back panel. Because I've added two new microcontrollers (plus associated components) and powering them all off the Polysix's built-in power supply I'm worried that maybe the extra heat is my fault.
I've done measurements of my modded Polysix. The thermal bus bar on the Polysix power supply is running about 140F (60C). You can see details here:

Can anyone measure the temperature of their Polysix and tell me how hot she gets? If mine is hot, but normal, I may proceed with even more power-drawing modifications. If mine is hot and abnormal, I won't.
Thanks for any help you can give...
